>>I always wonder...because most people who meet mine, Bentley and Finster especially automatically assume Siamese...and then when I say Tonkinese...they give me that blank stare...???
>>
>>I found Tonks by accident...I always loved the color of the Siamese coat and always wanted a cat with Blue eyes...so while researching the breed (and being a little disappointed) I came across the Tonks and immediately knew that was the breed for me...and have since collected all of my favorite colors!!!
>>
>>How did you hear about/find them?

I too found out how wonderful the Tonk breed is very much by accident. I'd heard about them but didn't think much of them until my dad and step-mom brought a bro/sis solid blue pair home from Tx. The little boy kitten soon made it clear that he'd chosen me as HIS hoomin. I breed one litter: bro-sis... I didn't want to do it but my dad's and sm's co-breeder had say of first breeding and he insisited on it. Unfortunately, I ran into a potential gentic liver/kidney problem and ended the line I was using by spaying and neutering everyone. Now I only have my original neutered stud, Bumbles left, and he just turned *10 years* old in Dec. Seems like yesterday he was just a 6 month old kitten! At the moment I'm concentrating on my Turkish Angora lines (pictures can be found on that breed board) but as soon as I have the time, room, and money you can bet I'll be breeding my beloved Tonks again. They're like potato chips you know: Can't have just one!
